The Hakosuka from the Power Pack is a fun car to run in the GTR race on RH.
I saw some pictures posted above and they definitely look like super fun. Making the old PS4 user a bit jealous ...
The standard engine-swapped Hakosuka is fun too though. :)
I couldn't resist to take two of my dinosaurs to track and see whether they're still competitive. And they are !

My Hakosuka's got a tune for the Historic Sports Car Masters. It runs on SS dialed in at slightly below 580 PP. And this is quite a good level for having close races against Ordonez and Suswillo in their R35 cars.

Now driving the 2J always was and still is really special with some kind of therapeutic effect on me. Yoga-like relaxation, sheer driving pleasure. Wasn't sure whether it can be quick enough against the prototypes and Group C cars at Yas Marina but it's been another easy victory in the end. Went all out, 860 PP, FM1 on RM, refueling after 10 laps.

Why just win the race when you can absolutely steamroll it? The car was capable of a lot more but my driving at nearly midnight let quite a bit to be desired, took a ton of tries and still left probably ten seconds on the table by taking it really easy when passing to not blow the bonus.

I used the Demon swapped Charger for the American and Ferrari GTO for the European cups.

I actually somewhat liked the Brands Hatch Racing tires madness. It was different. But that was the easiest gold in the history of the franchise I guess.

Deep Forest came down to the wire. Taking the lead on the final hairpin of the last lap in the magnificent 400R.

I was surprised the the 908 was able to do a no stopper on mediums but it worked really well. No CRB due to some missed breaking points but a nice drive.

Fastest lap was a fluke 42. Majority of my laps were 44s with some 43s in between. Tires at the end of the final lap for reference.
